Having a complete and well-structured dataset makes your life as a cost estimator much easier. The Cost Engineering Standard Knowledgebase (CESK) offers you a vast array of information, used by companies worldwide. The included labor norms and cost data is considered an industry standard and covers a wide range of disciplines for various industries. The CESK data is available in Cleopatra Enterprise as a structured and comprehensive knowledgebase. Users can choose from parametric equipment models to detailed unit-rate data for all typical project disciplines. With the central database architecture of Cleopatra, your knowledge remains secure and available when you need it. Cost Engineering provides regular updates of the CESK Data to ensure the information reflects the latest market conditions. Because the data is open and transparent, users can also add their own knowledge and data to capture and maintain the information that is typical for your projects. In addition to the CESK Data, information from third parties can also be made available in Cleopatra Enterprise. For example, well known datasets such as Compass International, Richardson and Page & Nations. Even your own cost library, whether in Excel or MS Access, can easily be converted into a Cleopatra knowledgebase. Contact us to learn more about the available knowledgebases in Cleopatra Enterprise.

The climate is changing and it is already taking a measurable toll. One of the main drivers of climate change in the world is CO₂. While a certain amount of CO₂ is needed for life on earth to flourish, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have caused an imbalance: there is now too much carbon dioxide in the air.
To reverse climate change, Climeworks is restoring a healthy balance of CO₂ by capturing CO₂ directly from the air using its direct air capture technology. The air-captured CO₂ can then either be recycled and used as a raw material, or completely removed from the air by safely storing it underground.
